Durbin Statement On Senate Confirmation Of Judge Ana De Alba To The U.S. Court Of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit

Statement

Date: Nov. 13, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Government Operations

"Judge Ana de Alba is a seasoned litigator with both federal and state-level judicial experience. She is a legal champion for civil and labor rights, a sense of justice shaped by her powerful personal experience as a first-generation Mexican American and the daughter of farmworkers who were denied proper employment protections.

Notably, Judge de Alba exemplifies the lasting legacy of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, who recommended Judge de Alba for nomination to the bench. I congratulate Judge de Alba on becoming the thirty-seventh Circuit Court judge confirmed under President Biden, and the latest example of the Senate Judiciary Committee advancing highly-qualified nominees who will ensure a fair justice system for all and who represent the diversity of America."
